‘The Blackwell Companion to Judaism is a formidable
attempt, in a series of learned and elegant essays, to tackle the
many questions concerning Judaism. The organization is commendably
lucid. The style throughout is accessible to a wide readership,
without sacrifice to standards of accuracy and analysis.’
—Times Literary Supplement

‘Where the Companion scores highly over other
similar works is that the editors have been able to elicit
contributions that contain the latest scholarship or position on
each subject, so that the contemporaneity and the quality of each
is perfectly dovetailed. This will be the benchmark by which future
examples of the genre will be measured.’
—The Expository Times

‘I am excited at the prospect of the publication of this
book, in that it promises to display the lifelong fruits of
research and mature insights of a master scholar on
Judaism.’
—Kenneth Hart Green, University of Toronto

"[T]he contributors place Judaism in historical context,
elaborate on its principal doctrines, introduce forms of modern and
contemporary Judaism, and shed light on special topics in
understanding contemporary Judaism, such as ethics, women
theopolitical aspects, secular forms of Jewishness, and
Zionism."
—Journal of Contemporary Religion

"Comparative, comprehensive and highly readable, Matthewes' book
provides an overview of religious ethics in three traditions
without sacrificing the specificity of each ethical system. The
author effortlessly enlightens the reader as to how Judaism,
Christianity and Islam deals with highly relevant topics such as
family, love, sexuality, lying, war, capital punishment and many
more themes in a provocative and graceful manner."
—Ebrahim Moosa, Duke University
